RE: superstar ep to glow
This engine is probably about right...It will have a lot more power than the electric motor that was in there so you should watch the throttle. [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKF89&P=7]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKF89&P=7[/link]

RE: superstar ep to glow
I did, I used an LA 15 size motor turning an 8 x 4 master airscrew propeller. I put a 3 oz. fuel tank right behind the firewall. To balance that out, i put the Rx battery pack as far back in the radio compartment as possible. I had to modify the airplane's motor mount to fit the .15 size motor. It flies excellently. Once it is in the air, I have the engine on idle and it provides more than enough thrust, ON IDLE!! With full power, the veritcal performance is nearly unlimited. I get about an average of 20 minute flight times. I will post a pictue of it later, right now I am out of town.
Hope that helps, if you have any questions write back.
